Wealden Second Hard (65mm)

The Wealden Second Hard 65mm Brick by Imperial Bricks is a traditional facing brick designed to reflect the appearance of classic southern English stock brickwork. Produced to achieve a robust and established look, it features a blend of warm red, brown, and subtle earthy tones with natural variation throughout. This combination gives brickwork depth and character while remaining versatile across a wide range of residential building styles.

This facing brick has a lightly textured surface that enhances its traditional appearance without appearing overly rustic. Because of the tonal variation and surface character, larger wall areas avoid looking flat or repetitive. Instead, completed brickwork feels visually layered and settled, making this brick particularly suitable for heritage-inspired developments and traditional housing schemes.

In residential construction, this Imperial Bricks facing brick suits a variety of external wall applications. It is commonly specified for new build homes, extensions, and renovation projects where consistency is required alongside a characterful finish. Its balanced appearance allows it to sit comfortably within both rural villages and suburban environments.

The warm colouring of this brick offers flexibility when selecting mortar colours. Lighter mortars can soften the overall façade and enhance the stock-style appearance, while darker mortars help define joints and add contrast. This adaptability allows designers and homeowners to fine-tune the finished look to suit local architectural styles.

This brick also works well alongside complementary materials such as natural stone, timber features, and traditional roof tiles. Its understated tones help create cohesive façades that feel timeless rather than trend-led, making it a dependable option for long-term residential projects.
